Poetry is one of my top subjects! I am a published poet. Poetry was the specialization of my MFA degree.

I have been a teacher for over thirty years. My subject area is English, but I have taught many peripheral topics such as Research, Sociology and Communication. I am a writer as well in the genres of poetry, fiction, and travel journalism. I have extensive experience in the area of study skills and test preparation.

More About This Tutor...

In tutoring any of the traditional subjects (Latin, Greek, formal/informal logic, rhetoric, critical thinking), I emphasize the objectives common to them all: (1) acquisition of context-specific vocabulary, (2) a feel for the flexibility and polysemy of a given word's lexical-semantic meaning, (3) a comprehension of the text's thematic, stylistic, and evaluative undertones and progression. The three, taken together, require us to formulate arguments by sifting through material, with an eye to analysis on how texts are crafted for presentation in terms of form and content. The result is an understanding on how these three are essential for reading, arguing, and, ultimately, thinking critically. Subjects Tutored: Besides the aforementioned subjects, I also tutor for calculus and chemistry.
I earned my B.A. from Tulane University magna cum laude in classical languages and philosop ... read more

My comments on tutoring Poetry : I was president of my high school's poetry club, was awarded golden keys in poetry by the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, and studied poetry under Marie Howe in my senior year of college.

I have been a private tutor and academic coach since the summer of 2020. Previously, I taught creative writing to children ages 8-18 at Writopia Lab's summer sleepaway camp (2017). I interned with the reading specialist, ESL teacher, art teacher, and speech therapist at Anne Hutchinson School in 2016 and 2017. I helped students struggling with reading and writing. I worked as a volunteer teaching assistant at Sarah Lawrence College's Early Childhood Center in 2016 and again during the 2019-2020 school year.

When she left ten years later, Erin Kissane had been A List Apart’s editor-in-chief for nearly a decade, and she had also served as content strategist for Happy Cog for over five years. She is a brilliant writer, editor and human being, and I am proud to be her friend. Pretty good story, right? So, those emails worked.

I have been helping with other students in my past and I helped them get to a B and higher and with all the subjects I teach them they will be prepared for the state test. I like to make kids into bright adults that can make them a high class job. With all the information that I learned I think that I could use a little money for some materials to help other kids with there work and to help me get a good job using this as a part to help me on how im teaching the kids.

A Little Bit About Me...

I prefer a "hands on" style of tutoring. I like to engage and motivate my students to bring out the best in them.
Armed with a Masters in Business Administration, Finance, you will find an experienced tutor who know his trade. For the last 20 years, I have taught students from all walks of life. Thanks to the new technology online tutoring has now become a go-to method in teaching. It has always been my joy to see students excel and for this reason I resolve to continue committing my time, skills, and knowledge to make online tutoring an enjoyable experience.

Poetry is one of my top subjects! I plan to be a english teacher in the coming years after completing my MAT and poetry will be at the fore front of my curriculum. Not only is it a powerful tool of personal visualization using techniques like alliteration to personification it is a powerful tool of expression. With a semi-confined space people often pack a good deal of emotion into each stanza and choose every word carefully.

Graduate of The University of Vermont in May of 2015 - Double Major Degree; English and Classical Civilizations. Before that I have taught poetry at a School for underprivileged in Freeport L.I. I am Applying to the Brown University Education program with a plan to graduate with my Masters of the Arts in Teaching. I want to be the teacher that opens the door of wonder that is the literary world.

All children can learn,

My style adapts to student's needs. There are multiple points of entry for undertanding.
I have taught Language Arts in Middle School, 7th and 8th grade. In addition, I taught all major subjects in Grades 3, 4, 5. I have worked with students in regular education classes, and also have had previous experience with special needs children ( behavior and academics). My students have been successful with city and state assessments, and in the recently developed ratings in NYC I am "effective", very close to "highly effective", in their newly developing rating system.

Reading and writing are both passions, not parlor tricks.

I am gracious to say that I have accumulated nearly fifteen years of impassioned decorated reading and writing where I was the honored recipient of the Proficiency With Distinction Award for critical thinking, literature, as well as reading comprehension in 2012. I have two short stories published by a high profile Vermont newspaper (Vermont Journal), both of which were published in 2014 and were the recipients of statewide acclaim and accolades. I hold the ability to read comprehensively and to write critically with a flaring imagination and analytical wit at the utmost highest regard. The power of the written word is unparalleled and is a passion of mine beyond description.
